The Raven Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ok maybe its my own fault i was trying to blag a test drive in an evo x. So i mentioned that i would sell the supra to help pay for it. Uk spec auto 90k on it. Loads of history He phoned 3 people best offer 2800. Id rather smash it up on a track that sell it for that!

Dnk Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thats the book price? So what your saying is if we havent got agreed price with our insurance thats what i can expect back should some chav crash into me? More than likely ive got agreed value on my car of over 4 times that book value, even if it costs a bit more its well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm This might be a blessing i may have to change the insurance as i would have to kill someone if they crashed into my car and i got 2800 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Don't your insurance company give you the value of the car, as aposed to the 'book price'. The insurance is to replace your car like-for-like, and obviously, Supras are selling for a lot more than their book price. Therefore your insurance would have to pay out the amount that a Supra is worth in the market - backed up by examples of Supras similar to yours that are for sale at that time. If the book price is £2800, and the same spec car was say £5000, then the insurance would have to pay upto £5000 to replace your car. That's what you're paying for anyway. At the price of insurance I'd expect nothing less than my car replaced like-for-like regardless of the cost. It's not an issue when they're asking you for ridiculously high premiums, so it shouldn't be an issue when they have to pay out for what you've been paying them for. If you sell a car to a dealers however, then book-price is what they'll pay you... They're a money making company after all. If you want a higher price for it then you'll have to sell privately.

supra_aero Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 hmmm that is very worrying. You may as well break the car. I'll help you by taking the engine and brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I guess a lot would depend on your insurer as to how well you do with a non agreed value policy payout. I didnt want to take the chance or have to argue that my cars worth £x, especially having the widebody kit on it and everything else ive done over the years, i got a very good deal with Sky but guess being old and sensible helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I would have gone with sky but they didnt want to insure the mrs on it. Im with bell, me thinks i shall phone them and confirm this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesF Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thats the book price for a trade in? Not its value. He's probably going to add about £1000 if he's a normally car dealer, maybe more if he's a specialist. But to be fair, Its not the type of car thats going to fly off any car forecourt, let alone a performance motors place, right now with the current economic climate.

NatsupraTT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Anyway everone knows that a car dealer will offer silly money for your car but then you will see it for sale the following week with a grand or 2 put on it. I think dealers go to auctions to buy cars anyway as they cheaper so they make their money same as if they bought you car they only in it to make money obviously lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thats the book price?

bigbloodyturbo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 isn't your trade in value different depending on what your trading it in against, I have a 98 prelude and they're pretty worthless at the moment and I got a trade in quote of 3k against a TT 6speed yet i only got offered 1200 against an 3.0 e36 M3. That was before the summer right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Trade in prices mean nothing, the secret is to do the basic maths and work out how much YOU pay to do the swap. That way you cut the *rap and compare apples with apples. They hate it when you say "Just tell me what the least amount on the cheque I write that you'll take will be?". They can't baffle you with trade in discounts, cash discounts, blah blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thats the book price?

Its British Law that insurers have to offer you the market value for your car, no more, no less. Most will offer you a crap 'book' price for your car, its then upto to prove the market value of your car with ads etc to get what its worth.
